For too many years I had a strong ideas about the kinds of songs I wanted to create and such high standards that I ended up blocking myself off from the flow. My creativity just barely trickled.… a new song every year or two and musical evolution at a snail’s pace, goals piling up without any real progress. Now it kind of seems silly to me. Now I’m taking a new approach to music and art in general, and embracing my lo-fi imperfections. I finally I feel like I love making things, writing songs, jamming, making videos like these and putting my ideas or feelings into words. I may not be Prince but I think I can finally understand the artistic headspace it took for him to be able to write a song a day and for the first time in my life I feel like I am doing what I was meant to do.

In this important conversation with Javier (@drrune), we go deep into what trust actually is and why it always seems to be broken, how we may be looking at it the wrong way, and how learning to build trust could potentially fix many problems both in our personal lives and in the structure of society and our communities. Part 2 coming soon.
